Reclaimed materials, reimagined as handmade jewellery.
Sustainable. Handmade. Everyday.
MUSHI Brooches are handcrafted from vintage Japanese kimono offcuts and recycled upholstery leather. Each piece is cut, layered, and composed in small runs, making every brooch one-of-a-kind.
This range brings together colour, texture, and reclaimed materials to create playful, tactile objects that add character to any outfit. Lightweight and easy to wear, each brooch carries the history of its original fabric and the marks of the maker’s hand.
Sizes vary from 4.5cm to 7cm diameter.
Handcrafted on Wadawurrung Country, Ballarat, Victoria
SHIRO necklaces are contemporary statement pieces crafted from reclaimed timber, recycled leather, repurposed beads, and salvaged materials. Each necklace balances form, texture, and tone to create a sculptural, design-focused object that is bold, tactile, and wearable.
This range reflects MAINICHI’s architectural influences — clean lines, clarity of form, and attention to proportion — while honouring the character of the reclaimed materials used.

We believe beauty lives in the everyday.
MAINICHI is a practice of renewal, where salvaged timber, Japanese fabrics, recycled leather, and other reclaimed materials find new life as handmade jewellery and accessories. Each piece is made slowly and thoughtfully, with care for the materials we choose to honour.
Bold, textural and quietly unconventional, every object invites you to express your values in a way that feels personal and enduring.
